How about using parchment paper, and would this work in a conventional oven?
Posted by Annie august 4^th 2009 at 18:59 (n° 1)
For Annie : Yes no problem at all with parchment paper and conventional oven. Think to well close parchment paper enveloppe by several foldings, preheat your oven at 360°F (180°C) and let stay in about 10 to 15 minutes.
